- How does the vacuum seal work?
- You fill the container, fit the lid and pump air out through the valve until it holds. The reduced oxygen slows browning and mold on produce and leftovers.
- Is it safe in the freezer and dishwasher?
- The glass body handles freezer storage and is dishwasher safe. Wash the lid and valve by hand to keep the seal working.
- Can I put it in the oven or microwave?
- The glass base can take moderate heat, but remove the lid and valve first. Never microwave or bake with the sealing lid on.
- How is it different from a clip-lid glass container?
- A clip lid only keeps air out; this one removes air from the container. That extends freshness further, at the cost of a manual pumping step.
- What can I store in it?
- Cut fruit and vegetables, salad, leftovers, coffee beans, grains and dry goods. Avoid strong-smelling liquids if you also store delicate foods.
- Is the 1L size enough for a family?
- It suits one or two portions of leftovers or a batch of cut produce. Larger households usually want several containers or a bigger size.
- Where is the Kilner Fresh Storage 1L cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $18.95, as of our latest check.
